What you may not know about the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
One of the most infamous tragedies in American manufacturing history is the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire of 1911. Are the details of the story accurately remembered? And what can we still learn from the incident today?

# data[].attributes.body
The website shows pictures of many of the things that were used in the building and it even shows an article detailing the events of that day. The newspaper is by "The (New York) World" and was written in 1911. The newspaper details the deaths of the girls in the factory and how the girls died. This article relates to "Uprising" because it talks about the fire that the protagonists in the book went through. This fire was a life-changing experience for Bellas and it heavily affected her perspective on the world.

In a newspaper from the San Diego Union in 1911, a section written on the Triangle Factory fire can be seen. The segment talks about those killed in the fire and mentions that 90% of the deaths were girls. It talks about the exits in the building not being of any use and of the women who worked at the factory. The text relates to the book "Uprising" because, at the end of the book, the three protagonists are caught in the Triangle Factory building during the incident. The article explains how girls had to jump off the railings of the 8th and 9th floors, and one of the protagonists in the book is forced to do the same. The fire that happened that day changed many of the character's views on life and their identities.

The article explains the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York City in 1911. The doors were locked by the owners, as to prevent stealing, but this mistake lead to 146 lives being lost. The factory owners were later indicted but acquitted by the jury. After the fire, many precautions were put in place to prevent these things from happening again. New laws were created and more thorough inspections took place.

Bella is a young Italian girl who has come to America to make money for her family, however, her family has already died, and the people she's been living with have been stealing her money. Yetta is a young Russian girl living with her sister, but when a strike they had been participating in ends, Yetta's sister leaves on a new journey, and Yetta stays behind. Jane is the daughter of a wealthy man, but she doesn't like her father's ideals and wants to help Triangle Shirtwaist workers like Bella and Yetta. The three of them meet each other at the Triangle Shirtwaist strike and quickly become best friends. However, their friendship is short-lived when a fire strikes the Shirtwaist factory, and Yetta and Jane are killed.

Address Unknown is a book that tells the story of Max Eisenstein and Herrn Martin Schulse (referred to as Martin throughout the book) through letters between the two. Max and Martin are both friends that came from Germany to make a living in America, however, Max is Jewish while Martin isn't. The book details what happens between them when Martin returns to Germany as Adolf Hitler comes to power. Their friendship worsens throughout the book until the last straw when Martin informs Max that his Jewish daughter, that went to Berlin, Germany to participate in a play, was killed by Nazis after he refused to help her in his backyard. The book ends with Max sending Martin suspicious-sounding letters that eventually get Martin killed as a suspect of being part of a resistance against Hitler.

“...maybe even a day ago---Jane would have been flattered that he thought anything about her was important… But with the women’s rights lecture still echoing in her ears, she heard him differently now”(Haddix 67).

“But since she’d left for America, sometimes she felt like she’d left that girl behind just as completely as she’d left Mama and the little ones”(Haddix 7).

“When she felt so completely and utterly alone”(Haddix 57).

In the book Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix, there is a scene where Yetta and Jacob rush across the partially on-fire ninth floor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory to help workers open the door to an exit (as Yetta assumed they didn't know that the door opened inwards). The door, however, turns out to be locked, and in the time Yetta and Jacob spend trying to open it, the fire catches up to them and the other workers and traps them. The fire then causes Yetta's, Jacob's, and many other factory workers' deaths. In the article, there is a statement that states that the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory had a management practice of locking all of the exits to keep workers from leaving the job for breaks. This practice partially caused the 146 deaths that occurred from the fire. As we can see, this scene in the book reveals accurate historical details with the locked doors and shows that history did unfold accurately in this part of the book.
